Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake ‘Suit and Tie’ music video the
male backup dancers, Timberlake, and Jay-z are all wearing suit and bow ties,
the male backup dancers are doing the same dance moves as Timberlake and are
being sexualized at all throughout the whole video. While the female backup
dancers on the other hand are being sexualized by wearing skimpy lingerie,
while sensually dancing with a microphone stand and rolling around and more
sensual dancing on the floor in a pool of water. Timberlake’s music video for
his song ‘Tunnel Vision’ was banned from YouTube last summer for violating the
nudity policies. The music video features Timberlake and Timberland goggling at
three nude female British models walking around and, “The models danced around strategically covering themselves at
points with their arms and were also partially obscured by mist.” This video is said to
follow in the footsteps of Robin Thicke’s unrated music video for his song
‘Blurred Lines’, which was also banned from YouTube. But in one of his appearances on Saturday
Night Live Timberlake got a chance to be a sexualized like a female backup
dancer by doing a skit with Beyoncé in one of the 2008 episodes. The skit
showed Timberlake, Andy Samberg, and Bobby Moynihan replacing Beyoncé’s female
backup dancers for her ‘Single Ladies’ music video and yes they still wear the
leotards and high heels.
